Remote Control
Observe signal strength bar and signal quality bar while
STB is scanning.
- Take note of the level indicators as this will determine the
consistency of your picture quality.
- Signals between 50%~70% may not allow pictures to be
constantly available. Signals below 50% may mean that no
picture will be available.
The F1 key will invoke the Quick Scan function at any time. This is particularly useful if
you take your digital receiver to other regions in Australia where the digital channel plan
is different from your own.
Quick scan will be useful when new digital services, e.g. new channels, ‘datacasting’ or
other kinds of digital TV services, become available.
Press EXIT followed by OK to view TV channels.
- Exit from the Channel Scan menu by pressing EXIT,
followed by OK to save the current channel plan.
- Change channels with the CH + / - or  keys. Adjust the
aspect ratio to suit your TV using the WIDE button.
Press OK to display full Channel List.
